    Attention Rising 6th Graders!!!
     
    It was really great getting to see all of you at your elementary schools!  Both Mr. Brotherton and Ms. Evans have been very complimentary of you and I can see why- you were very attentive and asked great questions.  I'm excited for you to become GFMS Blue Demons in August!
     
    You now have the opportunity to register for Band and learn how to play a musical instrument for your 6th grade year! You can find the registration form below or on the GFMS website. Registration will close on Friday, May 26 so make sure you don't miss it! 
     
    The "Instrument Test Drive" will be Tuesday, May 23 at South Caldwell High School from 5-7pm.  This is a floating event, so you can show up at time within the 5-7pm window.  Here is your chance to tryout the instruments to see which works best for you!  This is also where you will select your top 3 choices of instruments to play.

    Due to the change in date for the high school football game, 8th Grade Band Night at SCHS has been postponed.  I will let you know when it is  rescheduled.  Reminder that we do have a Fall Concert next Thursday at SCHS (10/6).

    There is an error with the green Calendar of Events that was sent home with your child.  The Winter Concert is TUESDAY December 13 at SCHS.

    Good afternoon!  I want to welcome everyone back to school and back to Granite Falls Middle School.  Below are a few things that you need to know.

     

    *Students will NOT need to bring their instruments to school on the first day of school.  

    *6th Graders will not need their instruments until Sept. 6.

    *6th and 7th graders will be using Standard of Excellence Book 1 to start the year.  If you have lost yours, you need to get a new one.  The Chapman Instrument Repair has them in stock. 8th graders will not be using a method book.
     
    *The calendar has been updated on this website.
